Tainted Ties - Paperback

Ten years ago, Aurora Bianchi fled Italy after a fatal decision. When she reached the safety of New York City, she thought she'd successfully left her dark past--and her demon--behind.

"No one was allowed to have her pain and misery except for me."

But for the last decade, Roman Mancini has been plotting revenge against the Bianchi family for the murder of his cousin. After seizing their assets and crippling their business, there's one remaining piece to complete his nefarious puzzle.

"I was treading on a path to hell, but I found myself welcoming the devil in front of me."

When Aurora is dragged back to Italy to negotiate a peace treaty between the two opposing Mafia families, she's forced to face down her demon. But she quickly learns there's only one thing that Roman wants: her hand in marriage. As Roman's callous plans force them closer together, they both find something they aren't expecting.
